Abstract

Acquisition of land rights has been a protracted issue due to the complexity of land laws and regulations in Indonesia. This situation often leads to illegal land disputes and conflicts. This research investigated the aspect of legal certainty in land rights based on Indonesian laws and regulations. This study focused on the aspects of legal certainty in several laws and regulations related to land rights and examined the implications of the Law on Land Acquisition and Government Regulations (PP) of 2021 concerning Management Rights, Land Rights, Flat Units, and Land Registration. The research methods involved a qualitative approach with a normative and juridical approach. The research results highlight significant progress in recent regulations, such as the Perppu Cipta Kerja 2022 and PP 2021 concerning Management Rights, Land Rights, Flat Units, and Land Registration, regarding more efficient and transparent procedures in providing legal certainty in obtaining the rights above ground. This finding implies the need for continuous improvement to strengthen legal certainty and to protect the rights of all parties. This research emphasizes the importance of harmonizing laws and regulations to create a conducive environment for the responsible and sustainable acquisition of land rights in Indonesia.

Abstract

The research focuses on the proportionality analysis of the competing socio-economic rights in the Indonesian Constitutional Court / Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia (the MKRI). It is motivated by the unclear concept/model of proportionality analysis in Indonesia and its application by the court. The research method used was normative legal research with statutory and case approaches. The MKRI's general practices need to be more structured, unsystematized, and uncomprehensive to implement with four stages: legitimate aims, suitability, necessity, and balancing. It applies a model that refers to the legal objectives based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. It declares the balance of fundamental rights and obligations of citizens based on the values of the godhead, humanity, unity, democracy, and social justice. Hence, some decisions used proportionality analysis, specifically in economic rights. Its implications create a balance of legal norms and integratively value legal certainty, justice, and legal expediency.

Abstract

Technological developments, especially social media, potentially have a negative impact that pretend to social disintegration and instability. To prevent and create a healthy and conducive digital space, the Government issued the Minister of Communication and Information Regulation No.5/2020 concerning Private ESOs. This regulation gives the government authority to supervise Private ESOs and protect social media content. This research aims to examine ministerial regulation effectiveness in realizing social media equilibrium and its impact on digital democracy in Indonesia. This is a sociolegal research. The data was obtained from observation, expert interviews, and literature studies which were analyzed qualitatively. Normatively, restrictions and supervision to the right to use social media through private ESOs can be carried out to be in line with Pancasila’s Spirit. However, there are fundamental errors in ministerial regulation: (1) multiple interpretations norm; (2) unclear parameters of supervision; and (3) weak legal position of ministerial regulations in law enforcement. Sociologically, the presence of ministerial regulations is weak and ineffective because they are: (1) rejected by stakeholders; (2) easy to change; and (3) slowly responded in socialization process and community compliance. More comprehensive implementation regulation is required with, supervision through an electronic system approach to increase the role and participation of community.

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of state intervention in protecting and fulfilling the human rights of non-Muslim heirs through the institution of compulsory testament. In the diverse social landscape of Indonesian society, it is possible for one heir to adhere to a non-Muslim religion while the other two heirs are Muslim. This situation raises a legal problem in the field of inheritance, as the non-Muslim heir may risk losing their inheritance rights. Both religious rights and inheritance rights are human rights that must be protected, and their fulfillment must be guaranteed by the state through the establishment of policies regarding compulsory testament. This study employs a normative legal research method to examine existing regulations, the challenges faced by non-Muslim heirs, and the role of the state in promoting justice and protecting human rights. The results of the study conclude that mandatory wills intended for non-Muslim heirs are based on customary law with the principles of justice, social justice, and humanity. Mandatory wills for non-Muslim families also accommodate the democratic atmosphere in society and the state, answering the need for a sense of justice that is the right of every individual and preventing inequality in the pluralistic Indonesian society. It is necessary to strengthen regulations related to compulsory testament, to guarantee the rights of non-Muslim heirs, in order to create a more just and civilized society.

Abstract

The pursuit of fairness and harmony between the realization of rights and duties is a cornerstone of human progress. Restorative justice case resolution represents an endeavor to introduce a non-punitive procedure into Indonesia's criminal justice system as part of its ongoing effort to modernize its legal framework. Restorative justice focuses on healing criminal behavior's harm and shattered relationships. This study examined the feasibility of implementing restorative justice aspects into a national criminal justice system, gaining inspiration from the Toba Batak Indigenous People. The methodology was socio-legal. Dalihan Natolu is recognized as an alternative conflict settlement method for Toba Batak. The traditional leader mediates in this conflict resolution. By Batak customary law, the imposition of sanctions is decided by customary judges or kings. Dalihan Natolu then tells the culprit not to repeat his behavior. Dalihan Natolu involves offenders, victims, families of offenders and victims, and other parties in seeking a fair settlement that emphasizes repair above retribution. This helps Dalihan Natolu solve criminal concerns. In indigenous cultures, customary institutions convene the parties engaged in a crime to provide counsel and find solutions that do not harm or profit only one side. Justice is served, and the victim is not harmed.

Abstract

Indonesia's climate ambition, particularly in developing an electric vehicle ecosystem, has made significant progress since 2019 through the adoption of various legal instruments leading to mining law reform. These initiatives include establishing an electric vehicle battery industry supported by downstream mining policies. This policy ensures the availability of metal ores, such as nickel, which is a key raw material for the battery industry. However, Indigenous communities living near mining areas designated as National Strategic Projects have experienced negative impacts, including environmental damage.This study posits that environmental damage is a consequence of excluding Indigenous communities from mining policy reforms, as they traditionally serve as protectors of the environment. The primary aim of this study is to analyze the importance of Indigenous peoples’ meaningful participation and to examine the tendency of Indonesia’s mining law reforms to overlook Indigenous involvement in environmental preservation. This paper employs a doctrinal and normative approach to statutory laws.The research underscores the urgency of ensuring meaningful participation of Indigenous peoples in mining law reforms and suggests methods for restoring their right to participate through available forums and legal instruments. The paper proposes several steps to accommodate Indigenous peoples’ aspirations in legislation: first, addressing the loss of identity experienced by Indigenous peoples; second, optimizing the use of existing representative offices in each province; and third, implementing a system that allows Indigenous peoples to easily express their aspirations and complaints.

Abstract

Biopiracy, the misappropriation of biological and genetic resources including the ones related to traditional knowledge, is a major challenge to some of the world’s megadiverse countries. Indonesia has been a major victim of biopiracy, facilitated by the current patent system. This article examines the case of Indonesia, the second richest of the seventeen identified megadiverse countries. The patent system aims to protect the rights of inventors, but the patent system causes injustice in cases of biopiracy. This research aims to analyse the Indonesian government's policies in dealing with biopiracy cases in Indonesia. This research is a normative legal research which uses the approaches of national and international law, biopiracy case, and conceptual. The Indonesian government has changed the patent law to deal with biopiracy cases through Law Number 13 of 2016 concerning Patent disclosure requirements and has also introduced the Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) in 2009 to address this problem. They can help in controlling access to the country’s resources based on prior informed consent, promoting collaboration between local and foreign researchers, and ensuring benefit-sharing. However, the realization of these objectives may be undermined by the country’s lack of capacity to monitor compliance with the MTA conditions, the inappropriate use of Intellectual property rights (IPRs), and MTA provisions that allow recipients to transfer material and derivatives to third parties without the country’s consent.

Abstract

The use of autonomous weapons systems (AWS) to select targets and attack them without human intervention poses a real legal dilemma. What heralds the urgency of the issue is the emergence of some unofficial reports talking about AWS entering the battlefield in recent armed conflicts. Previous literature has been inconclusive on the legitimacy of AWS. This is what prompted us to do this research, which deserves to be investigated in more depth to help reach an international consensus within the international humanitarian law (IHL) framework. The article uses a combination of both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methodology to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the issue. The methodology focuses on analyzing AWS through the perspective of IHL principles because it is the most related law by which the legitimacy of AWS can be assessed. The data collected were secondary and analyzed using quantitative data analysis to shed light on the contradiction between public sentiment and the actual trajectory of AWS development. The results show that military necessity and humanity are two concepts inherent in the true principles of IHL that do not accept measurement or compromise. The article concludes that although artificial intelligence (AI) has not yet reached a threshold that allows reliable deployment of AWS, However, the acceleration of its development indicates that AWS will be able to comply with true IHL principles in the near future.

Abstract

The quality of regulatory and legislative measures, both within and outside the hierarchy in Indonesia, can be assessed using certain indicators. These indicators demonstrate a stagnation and a slight shift towards other legal issues. To improve the quality of regulatory and legislative measures, it is necessary to amend preventive and evaluative mechanisms. This condition provides a foundation for further analysis of all problems, with a focus on creating a positive system that prioritizes urgency and required improvements. This paper aims to analyze the preventive and evaluative mechanisms of legislation in Indonesia objectively. This article uses the doctrinal legal method, utilizing legal concepts, statutory laws, legal facts, and legal case approaches. It suggests amending the current mechanism and recommends reforms towards both preventive and evaluative mechanisms to improve regulatory and legislative quality in Indonesia. This study was concerned with formulating grounded principles and concepts, and providing proof of concept for preventive and evaluative mechanisms towards statutory laws, which would ensure the sustainability of Indonesia's legislative and regulatory reform.

Abstract

Corruption are not adequately addressed by the current legal framework, which fails to provide appropriate sanctions or follow the Constitution in dealing with such crimes. Simply imposing prison sentences is insufficient; efforts must also be made to recover state losses incurred due to corruption. there are still significant constraints in the implementation and enforcement of the law. This study aim to analyze how the applicable laws are enforced to recover financial losses incurred by the state in cases of criminal corruption; and identify the factors inhibiting the effective implementation of laws related to the recovery of these financial losses. This study employs both normative legal methods and empirical research. The research results suggest that to restore the country's economy affected by criminal corruption, it is necessary to undertake measures such as the foreclosure of assets owned by the convicted individuals. Sanctions should include not only monetary compensation equivalent to the value of the assets obtained through corruption but also criminal fines and decisions on the confiscation of goods. One major internal constraint in recovering state finances is the tendency of convicts to opt for prison sentences rather than paying damages as determined by the court.
